'[A] creative and original book on resilience through crises' DAVID MILIBAND
'[A] fascinating book is full of insights I highly recommend it' KATE RAWORTH, AUTHOR OF DOUGHNUT ECONOMICS
From a leading international crisis management expert, a breakthrough book about performance under pressure that will change the way you think about stress
When we experience too much stress, we often feel like shutting down and escaping the source: we 'downshift'. With too little stress, we become apathetic and disengaged. But what happens in the middle zone when we experience what psychologists call 'positive stress' and how can we use it to overcome extraordinary barriers and perform at our peak?
From his role as a globally recognised change-maker at the likes of the United Nations, the International Red Cross and the World Bank, Ben Ramalingam has a unique vantage point from which to identify the key principles that can enable anyone to use stress as an opportunity for change. We learn how a switch in mentality helps musicians dazzle huge crowds against all odds; how astronauts focus on originality to overcome life-threatening incidents; and how discovering a sense of purpose allows emergency health workers and aid experts to deal with unprecedented crises.
Through a sweep of fascinating interviews, in-depth research and inspiring human stories, Upshift provides us with an everyday toolkit that can help to improve our work, relationships and mindset, and places us on the road to success. Taking readers on an epic journey from early humans' survival of the Ice Age to how modern social movements emerge and propagate in the digital world, Upshift is a reminder that creative solutions to complex problems will always exist as long as we're ready to innovate.
In Upshift, Ben Ramalingam takes us on a journey of personal growth and self-management, demonstrating how the latest leadership strategies can be applied in both business and nonprofit organisations. The book serves as an inspiration, providing new ways of decision-making and solving complex problems.
For fans of Renée Mauborgne (Harvard Business Review Leadership & Strategy Boxed Set), Karen Dillon (The Prosperity Paradox), John Doerr (Zero emissioni con gli OKR), Patrick Lencioni (The 6 Types of Working Genius), and Amy C. Edmondson (Right Kind of Wrong).
